Process
Applied online through the school's job website.
The interviewer contacted me within a week and asked for a date within another week for a phone technical interview.
I requested two weeks' notice and solved 150 LeetCode problems, with 70-80 specific to Google.
The phone interview was with a Ph.D. who has been working at Google for five years.
After introductions, they asked a coding question, which I solved in 25 minutes on Google Docs. A follow-up question on the same problem was then asked and solved in 5 minutes.
At the 40-minute mark, we discussed life at Google for 10 minutes.
Questions
LISP expression parsing and a follow-up question on it.
